>If you are really desparate you might try modifying Cys
residues with iodoacetamide. Once modified, I think it
allows trypsin to cleave at that position (maybe not
efficiently but you should get some cleavage). You would
have to modify both arginines and lysines (see Pierce
catalog) so that they are not susceptible to trypsin
cleavage. A bit of work, but if you are desparate, it
might work.
Hope that helps.
John
